I have been asked to post these thought provoking questions to the experts!
43 year old, expecting twins (now 30 weeks gestation)- several questions
have come up......she had breast cancer, which resulted in a masectomy 5
years ago. Still has one "functioning" breast, which has significantly
increased in size, prenatally.
My questions are:
Is it possible for her to exclusively breastfeed twins on one breast? I
know that a single infant can breastfeed on one breast exclusively - but,
what about twins??
What happens if babies want to eat simultaneously?
It's possible that the "functioning" breast will become cancerous in the
future. How will breastfeeding affect/change this?
Thanks for any advice - mom wants to set realistic goals.
